I'm glad you didn't say "just" a squirrel hunt frankb 8^).   It makes the squirrels angry if you think they are inferior game.     These grays up here are jumpy as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs.   The good thing is the white oaks have been prolific this year and the critters had a chance to fatten-up pretty well.  It will be challenging, that's for sure.    George

I hear ya!  Aint no such thing as "Just a squirrel."  When I'm deer hunting... I see a bazillion of them critters.  When lookin for rats... they know it.  

Been getting outsmarted by them for years. I guess that makes me a little smarter than a chipmonk, now doesn't it!?  :)

Wait... that don't sound right.

Maybe we all need to take tree stands and pretend we're hunting deer...then we can assignate them tree rats?

Mark,  I haven't committed to tee shirts yet.  Last year some ordered but never picked them up and it's a good cash layout to get them in the different sizes.  Hats would be easier since they are one size fits all.   We'll see as we get closer.   Thanks, George

George,
Well there is an army of at least eight conscripted to do battle with the gray army starting on the 21st.  
Doc, I thought treestands were the "deriguor" of the day for battling those pesky varmits!  Now you tell me we actually have to be on the ground with them?  But where will all of our arrows land?  And who's going to be in charge of gathering them up so's we can reload?   I'm sure that you've thought this all the way thru and the bases will be covered, right?
Can't wait to fling some nutters!

Gary,

In honor of our troops overseas I will use their terminology and say that some folks shoot ground to air, others go ground to ground, while others use sniper tactics and hunt from above. Whatever approach you want to use is OK as long as you are safe doing it.

BTW, everyone should remember that you need to show blaze orange on all sides, 360 degrees, and have some minimum amount showing.  It is in the guide that comes with  your license.  Just remember that panels on the front and back is not adequate, it has to be on all four sides.

Never thought of that, woodchucker.

Anyone know if Nutters are acceptable in PA?

Someone was using them last year. I would assume they are. However I don't know if it is even in the game laws as to what type of head can be used for small game.

You may be the initial trendsetters if yer using nutters!

Maybe this warrants a call to the SW PGC office...

They'll think we're nutter enough I'm guessing.  I don't know why they wouldn't be.  Bring em.
We aren't allowed to bait them, but we can taunt them...as they do us.   I'll be off Wed, Thurs, Fri, and Saturday...so I'll be planning some dire moves on the gray buggers.  I told the park manager, Bob Bromley what we were doing, and he got a chuckle out of that.  I don't think that he thinks we're serious 8^).  The oak flat above the breast of the dam has many grays.  I haven't seen any fox squirrels at the park yet, but they are in the area.  They are tough buggers, so bring on some potent heads for sure.  I'm getting kinda' antsy now.   George

George, I sure hope we aren't serious! If some of you are going to get started on Friday you can count me in. Weather permitting of course.

If you got "nutters", use 'em. I'll be packin' some of my new "DEE-NUTTERS"! I also use my squirrel catcher back quiver loaded with no less than 3 dozen flu-flus.
